“This year’s scholarship recipients have amazing stories of hard work and perseverance,” said Sunitha Reddy, Executive Director of the Dr. Prem Reddy Family Foundation. “Each individual was selected for their passion to put others first and a commitment to make lives and our community better. We are grateful for the opportunity to support their dreams and future in medicine.”



High Desert nursing student Angelina Clinkenbeard addressed her fellow scholarship recipients at the awards dinner. She shared the story of losing her father suddenly, and the story of her mother, a registered nurse who stops to help others on a regular basis, who inspires her and is her hero. “She really made an impact on me. She makes a difference. She saves lives. How could I not want to do the same thing? Being a nurse is my only dream,” said Clinkenbeard.
